Kamehameha Competition in July

This month's competition prize is a meal for two at the trendy King Kamehameha Restaurant which is located at Son Quint golf course, in Son Vida Majorca.

Apart from having a name which is extremely difficult to pronounce (the name I think is taken from the name of an ancient Hawaiian king), King Kamehameha Son Quint Restaurant is a beautiful location for a meal, a drink or a laze by the pool.

Kamehameha offers a very hip atmosphere, an idyllic location and a fantastic pool. Its team is also very experienced at organising all types of events and will be happy to help you organise your Majorca party or event at their gorgeous venue.
